Seeing as I am membership secretary for Southwark Green Party, I really ought to try to recruit a few supporters.


If anyone doesn't fancy joining but would like to come to a few of our monthly meetings or go on our supporters e-list let me know and I'll sort it out.


But if you do want to join, you can do it here.

Yeh, but eventually I'm hoping to get a farm and then I'd have to put up with posh tw@ts charging round on horses across my land after the foxes. Also I doubt the Blues would appreciate my colourful life experience, especially as some of their sort helped colour it!
You can always just shoot foxes if they are being a nuisance. Charging after them on horses and letting a pack of dogs rip them apart is a little unnecessary. Personally I think hunting them by skulking around the back alleys and along rooftops with a rifle would be more fun and more humane. Although watching a fox hunt gallop down LL on a Saturday morning would have great comedy value.

My cat was chased by a fox - he slipped in through the slightly open window and the bemused fox was left on the window sill, too large to get in.


Hunting with dogs more humane than rifle. It's over in seconds and the sporting element is that the fox might get away. Shooting often leaves foxes wounded. (unless you use extremely big dum dums but that might be illegal). Urban foxes do need culling at the very least. As Jah said on another thread, there are more in town than country. I've seen too many young dog foxes living awful lives having been expelled by their packs and unable to forage effectively. RSPCA chap I called to one said it is extremely common (I actually thought it was a v. old fox, it was so decrepit, but turned out to be a youngster).


Sorry to hijack this thread Chav. Perhaps responsible culling of urban foxes could be on the Green party manifesto?

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
